Roots of Recent Incidents in the West

"Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it."

According to the American Sufan Group's account published on December 15, 2015, about 27000 to 31000 terrorists have joined ISIS and other so-called Jihadist groups by 2015. These terrorists are from 86 countries of the world who have went to Iraq or Syria to fight as terrorists against governments of these two countries. This account reflects a very bitter and painful fact, which unfortunately has been underestimated by most media and even social websites belonged to the imperialistic current of the world. This fact is that despite all claims made by Arabic and Western states on fight against ISIS and terroristic groups, number of terrorists during past 1.5 years has increased more than three times; it means that they were just 12000 terrorists on July 2014. It can be justified only by a reason: the double standards both Arabic and western states follow against fight with ISIS and Terrorism phenomenon in this area of the world.

The account indicates that the western countries are the third origin from which terrorists have joined ISIS and other terrorist groups. Two first areas are Western Asia and the Arabic West (Tunisia, Libya, Morocco, Algeria and Mauritania). Out of these countries, Tunisia with 6000 terrorists ranked first and it is followed by Saudi Arabia, Russia, turkey, Jordan with 2500, 2400, 2100 and 2000 terrorists, respectively.

For European groups, France is ranked first in terms of number (1700 people) of its citizens who have joined terrorist group in Iraq and Syria; it is followed by UK and Germany with 760 terrorists [1].

After two terroristic activities of this year in Paris and Brussels by which the whole Europe's security was threatened and made states to reconsider new consideration to protect their borders and more than 35 people were killed and more than 200 people wounded in these attacks, an important question was raised which asks given the fact that education of Islamic teachings was important for the Belgian authorities and they used to pay sufficient payments to the Muslim Missionaries, why these incidents happened?

To answer the question, initially we consider the saying of Ms. Dalia Ziada, Egyptian Human Rights Activist and Director of Democratic and Independent Studies of Egypt, to an Egyptian newspaper, "It is not possible to separate what was happened in the US congress and what was happened in Belgium. The western states are paying the price and cost of sheltering terrorist groups [2]."

On the other hand, some provocative remarks by leaders of the Western states which ignite the flame. For Instance, after Belgian attacks Manuel Valls, The French Prime Minister, in an interview with the European Channel One TV condemned the Islamic Radical ideology, which is promoted in jails and worship places. He also pointed to a very important issue in this interview and said that, "Sometimes we neglected the radical and Salafi thoughts, which corrupted a part of our youth!!!"

In this regard, Dr. Osama Nabil, the Al-Azhar's professor, and managing director of the university's research website why the west neglected deliberately the increasing trend of radicalism and Salafism in its some areas and prisons? And he answered his question. Has this neglect resulted in immigration of the corrupted youth to Muslim states where they corrupted the youth of these states and promoted the Takifiri Islam, under the brand of real Islam? He also asks, how much are guilty the western states in developing the contemporary situation in the Muslim states? He also challenges considerably the western states through asking several questions about the relationship between Islam and democracy [3].

As these brief examples showed, you can see the double standard behaviors of the West against terrorism in which the states who had devil plots to disturb the Muslim states now are entangled in their own snarl. It seems that it's just beginning and they will be punished by what they have done against the Muslims.

Amongst shallow, sensationalist coverage of the British media, we are still missing the most important information. What is the demography of the riots? Who is leading it? Does it have any leaders? Is there an ideology behind it all? Why do they loot, what do they loot, and from whom do they loot? And most importantly, what is the meaning of it all?
